Straight up, the crew over at Gizmodo pulled together some amazing gear, both new and old, and curated it in a museum-like exhibition, complete with placards and interactive exhibitions. Of course, no technology event would be complete without some drool-worthy displays, and Gizmodo didn’t fail us there. Editorial Director Brian Lam took a moment to reveal a short video highlighting a brand new (under the radar) tablet aptly dubbed “The Courier”. Nope, it’s not from Apple – this little medallion is from the hallowed halls of Microsoft. We’ve got some photos of being demonstrated below in our slideshow. Of course, you can read more details on Gizmodo. Keep an eye out, this device might be a dark horse for Microsoft.

Special thanks to the Gizmodo staff for letting us come along for the ride tonight. Make sure your carve out some time to visit the Gallery (267 Elizabeth St.) which runs until Sunday, September 27th at 6 p.m. General admission starts, pretty much, now.
